For quite a long time, residents of Ijedodo area of Ijegun in the outskirts  Lagos State, have not known peace over the disappearance of their goats in the area until 28th November, 2021.

As he wanted to drive out with the goats, the security men on duty accosted him to know if he was the owner of the goats. His accomplice, having realized they have been caught, fled away from the scene.

The suspect, Isiadohomen, was then apprehended and handed over to the Police at Isheri Oshun Division with both the goats and car as exhibits.

During investigation, it was discovered that he had been responsible for the missing goats in the area, which the members of the community have been suspecting security men on duty of stealing because the security guards were unable to explain how the goats got missing.

Having been found culpable, he has been charged before the Ejigbo Magistrates Court for conspiracy and stealing the two goats worth N60,000.

He pleaded guilty.
